The Japanese Have Invented a Gadget That Generates Odors

Japanese scientists have demonstrated their new invention: a special nozzle for smartphones that can generate smells. “What has technology come to”, you may exclaim.

The unusual gadget developed by Japanese company Scentee, is a small round nozzle that will “teach” modern devices to transfer fragrances. It connects to the mobile device via a 3.5 mm audio jack and generates up to 100 charges of various odors. To perform this, the user will need to buy special replacement cartridges with different flavors, the cost of which is around $5.

As noted by the developers, the user can independently configure the work of Scentee, so he or she can assign certain smells to incoming calls, messages and reminders, as well as “transfer” smells to friends who also have own a Scentee nozzle. The gadget can also be synchronized with the social network Facebook in order for it to emit a pleasant scent whenever your status, photo or message is positively appreciated.

Sales of the unique Scentee nozzle start in November this year. Its recommended retail price is about $ 35.
